Historical management practices in dry and moist conifer forests of the interior Pacific Northwest have predisposed modern forests to severe drought, insect, and wildfire events. Scientific advances support management approaches that account for tree age and species, as well as rural community needs, increasing forest resilience to changing wildfire regimes and climate.Year2022Research StationPrincipal Investigator(s): Paul F. Hessburg, Sr, Susan Charnley, Andrew Gray, Thomas Spies, David W. Peterson, Rebecca Flitcroft, Kendra Wendel, Jessica Halofsky, Eric M. WhiteState(s)OregonWashington -
Historical interactions between American Indians and Euro-American settlers were not always adversarial. In fact, the development of Western ranching was heavily influenced by American Indians. Forest Service researchers conducted an ethnographic study at the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in the Deer Lodge Valley, Montana, to understand traditional associations that American Indian tribes and ranchers had with the site, the Valley, and each other. The National Park Service is using this knowledge to inform resource management at the historic site and to develop interpretive programs that include the history of the tribes that have lived in the area for more than 13,000 years.Year2022Research StationState(s)Montana -
Large and old trees are important landscape elements. Given the complexity of changing climatic and wildfire regimes, as well as social and economic considerations, land managers are evaluating whether protecting many of these critical trees may require moving beyond one-size-fits-all restrictions like the 21-inch rule.Year2020Research StationPrincipal Investigator(s): Susan Charnley, Rebecca Flitcroft, Andrew Gray, Jessica Halofsky, Paul F. Hessburg, Sr, David W. Peterson, Peter Singleton, Thomas Spies, Kendra Wendel, Eric M. WhiteState(s)OregonWashington -
American Indian tribes historically used fire to manage natural resources for subsistence and cultural uses. However, the nature, extent, locations, and reasons related to their use of fire, and its influence on historical fire regimes in the eastern Cascade Range, are poorly known today.Year2020Research StationPrincipal Investigator(s): Susan Charnley, Kendra WendelState(s)Oregon
